The BULLET BLENDER™ enables you to homogenize, disrupt, or lyse 24 tissue or cell culture samples at a time. Load the samples into polypropylene microcentrifuge tubes, then place them in the BULLET BLENDER™. The "bullets" in the instrument vigorously strike all the sample tubes while in operation. The Bullet Blender™ is now available with Air Cooling™ to preserve your sample quality!
Applications:
Lysing cells such as yeast and E. coli, or mamallian cell culture, to homogenizing tough tissues such as cartilage, tumors, heart, aorta, tail snips, muscle, uterus, and hair, as well as other organs such as liver, spleen, kidney, brain, lung, pharynx, stomach / intestine, lymph nodes, adipose, and skin from rodents, primates, or any animal. Other organisms like Drosophila, C. elegans, Apis mellifera, and Danio rerio, are amenable to Bullet Blender™ processing. You can also homognize plant tissue such as leaves, beans, nuts, berries, roots, sugar cane, etc. It's also used for extended vortexing or grinding, like chemical extractions or in applications such as phenol/chloroform extraction, blood processsing, and meconium metabolite extraction.
Features:
Compact - The footprint is only 8in. (20cm) wide by 10in. (25cm) deep
High Throughput
The Bullet Blender™ and Bullet Blender™ BLUE : twenty-four 1.5mL to 2.0mL microcentrifuge tubes
Bullet Blender™ BLUE 50: nine 50mL polypropylene tubes.
Easy - User friendly with only two settings to select: time and speed (up to 5 minutes for microcentrifuge tubes, up to 15 min. for 50 mL tubes. Momentary on by pressing the "Start" button.
Versatile - Use the Bullet Blender™ in different laboratory environments, including cold rooms (4°C to 60°C, avoid condensing conditions). Requires only an electrical outlet for operation.
CE certified 24V power supply, shipped with the proper plug configuration for your wall outlets.
CE certified instruments with upgraded electronics available.
Air Cooling™ on "BLUE" models prevents the instrument from heating up when processing multiple rounds of samples. The COOLEST homogenizer available!
Patented striking technology.
Built in the USA for years of trouble free use.
Warranty: two years parts and labor, three years on the motor.
30-day money back guarantee.
The BULLET BLENDER™ prepares up to 24 samples in just minutes. All of the samples are automatically homogenized the same, so there is very little variation from sample to sample. See the Protocols pages for preparation times and speeds.

No Cross-Contamination or Sample Loss |
There are no probes or blades to cause cross contamination or sample loss. The sample tubes are kept closed during agitation, as the cells or tissue are disrupted. There are no probes to clean between samples.
The instrument uses very little power due to the unique, patented design, so there is very little heat build up in the instrument or inside the sample tubes. It uses a small DC motor to agitate the individual tubes, not ultrasonics. Also, because the motor does not need to agitate any heavy platforms or plates, it is small and will last for years.
Simply place your cells or tissue, and optionally some beads, in standard tubes, and load the tubes into the BULLET BLENDER™. Set the duration (typically several minutes) and speed (vigorousness). There are no probes to clean. It is much quieter than a sonicator and the samples stay cooler, too!
The BULLET BLENDERS™ come with a 30 day money back guarantee and a 2 year warranty. The simple, reliable design enables the BULLET BLENDERS™ to sell for one half to one fifth the price of ultrasonic or other agitation based instruments, yet provides an easier, quicker cooler technique.

The Bullet Blender™ Family
The BULLET BLENDER™ enables you to disrupt or homogenize many samples at a time, by incorporating patented striking technology. The sample tubes are forcefully agitated thousands of times per minute, inducing vigorous motion of the substances inside the tubes.
Simply place your sample, some buffer, and optionally some beads in standard polypropylene tubes. Place the tubes in the BULLET BLENDER™ and run for a few minutes. Afterwards, place the sample tubes in a centrifuge to separate the lysate.
Because the samples are in separate tubes and no probes contact the samples, cross contamination is very easy to prevent.
The patented design requires very little power, so the motor will last for years. Also, the motor will not heat up significantly, so the samples stay cool. The addition of beads in the sample tubes allows disruption or thorough homogenization of cells and tissues. Tune the extent of disruption by adjusting the
Air Cooling™ is an option on the microtube model and standard on the 5 mL and 50 mL tube model. The Air Cooling™ entails fans which exchange air with their surroundings; they have nothing that actually chills the instrument. Air Cooling™ is useful if you're running several sample cycles in a row or if your samples are extra sensitive to heating up. Normally, the samples in the Bullet Blender™ only heat up a few degrees and stay quite cool. However, if you're running a second batch of samples soon afterwards, they will heat up a little more because the Bullet Blender™ is starting out slightly warmer. The Air Cooling™ keeps the Bullet Blender™ cooler so that the first batch of samples heat up a little less and subsequent batches are kept just about as cool as the first batch.
NEW! - The Bullet Blender™ BLUE 5
The Bullet Blender™ BLUE 5 contains all the homogenizing power of the original Bullet Blender with over 3 times the capacity! Homogenize up to one gram of tough tissue, soft tissue, cell culture, or small organisms in 5ml screw-cap tubes - usually in under 5 minutes! Holds up to 12 tubes. Because the Bullet Blender™ BLUE 5, has a larger motor than the others, this version is only available with Air Cooling™. |
The Bullet Blender™ BLUE 50
Similar to the original Bullet Blender™, this model holds up to 9 of 50 mL tubes at a time. The sample, lysis buffer, and beads should occupy no more than 15 ml of any tube to allow plenty of room for the sample and beads to slosh around. While this version is not suitable for tough tissue, it is ideal for larger volumes of cell culture and very soft tissue samples, such as adipose or brain. This model utilizes BD Falcon™ or Krackeler brand polypropylene 50 ml tubes; tubes that are a slightly different size may not work properly. Because of the somewhat longer processing times (about 3 times longer than with microcentrifuge tubes), all Bullet Blender 50s are equipped with Air Cooling™.
BBX24 BULLET BLENDER™
For homogenizing, mixing or vortexing in microcentrifuge tubes (1.5 to 2.0 mL), up to 24 at a time.
Includes the following:
· the BULLET BLENDER™ (with new improved housing!)
· operator's manual
· 24V DC Wall plug power supply (UL/CE)
· Bead Sample Pack BSP-MC — contains 10mL centrifuge tubes of eight different bead types.
